Fed agents seize more than 2 tons of pot at border

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Federal agents have seized about 2,300 pounds
of marijuana at the U.S.-Mexico border, authorities said
Monday.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection said that a drug-sniffing dog
led inspectors to an approximately 1,300-pound stash of marijuana
divided into 254 packages in a commercial bus driven by a Tijuana
man Sunday. Later another drug dog detected a 1,000-pound load of
pot hidden in a trailer attached to a truck at the San Ysidro Port
of Entry.

Both the 37-year-old bus driver and 55-year-old truck driver
were arrested for investigation of narcotics smuggling and are
being held at Metropolitan Correctional Center in downtown San
Diego.
